I'm 52 and I’ve been a dietitian for 30 years. Tirzepatide has been a lifesaver for me. I had prediabetes with a 31 BMI and despite my nutrition knowledge, healthy habits and working in ED I was unable to lose weight without medication. I lost 62 pounds and now have a BMI of 22 with good strength and muscle mass. It’s like tirzepatide fixed something that was broken in my body. I am on a lower dose now 7.5. I am so grateful. This has been life changing for me.

I lost 100 lb and have maintained it despite eating more freely than ever before in my life.

On November 15, 2022, I took my first shot and weighed in at an unhealthy 254.0 lbs with a BMI of 37.51 at a height of 5’9”, classified as Obese.

Now, on August 29, 2024, 1 year 9 months 1 week and 6 days later, I have surpassed my weight-loss goal and weighed in at 158.8 lbs with a BMI of 23.5 classified as Healthy.

Overall, this is a total weight loss of 95.2 lbs.

I no longer have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and irritable bowel syndrome. Today I begin re-testing with a home sleep study to see if I no longer have sleep apnea and I can stop wearing a CPAP.

Hard work, perseverance, and determination has paid off. May this motivate anyone who struggles with obesity. You can do it! Stay strong and focus on the prize!

I've lost 50 pounds so far. I surpassed goals I never thought possible, breaking free from fear and guilt-driven diet culture.

Absolutely 100% worth it. I started last June at 167 wanting to lose about 30 lbs. By November I was down to 127 and have been there since fluctuating 1 to 2 lbs. 5'4" 57 years old. Best decision of my life.
